Footsteps: Pueblos of New Mexico

Sat, 25 Aug 2007 07:56:33 -0700

In October of 1852, a French clergyman saddles up a fine cream-colored mule and rides south out of Santa Fe. As the new Catholic bishop of the territory of New Mexico, he is embarking on his first visit to Indian pueblos. "His great diocese was still an unimaginable mystery to him," wrote Willa Cather in her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "Death Comes for the Archbishop." "He was eager to be abroad in it, to know his people."

Isleta Pueblo, 13 miles south of Albuquerque, looks almost familiar to the bishop, with its startlingly white church, its clustered town and its acacia trees of the same blue-green color he knew in the south of France.

The scenery turns strange, though, as he rides west with his young Indian guide to Laguna Pueblo, and he begins not to believe his own eyes. Clumps of wild pumpkin look "less like a plant than like a great colony of gray-green lizards, moving and suddenly arrested by fear." What seems at first to be bright waves of sand turn out to be petrified rock, "yellow as ochre" and dotted with ancient juniper trees.

By the time the travelers approach Acoma, the third pueblo, they are passing colossal rock mesas, jutting upward 700 feet from the sandy plain. These formations look so bizarre to the bishop as to seem not part of nature at all, but rather like "vast cathedrals" or the remnants of a monumental city.

A Santa Fe Feed-For-Thought Item ... "One Race of Humanity"

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 10:55:51 -0700

To stare into a stranger's face
you see the history of mankind
The details may be different
only on the surface they're defined

Different stories we have to tell
of struggle, pain and strife
The strong survive as over eons
the weak crumble beneath their plight

Different skin and cultures all 'round
but look deeper my friend and see
That our hearts and souls are one
we are connected, one race of humanity.

Is Santa Fe Ready for a Makeover?

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 11:09:20 -0700

Can a 400-year-old city change? Do its inhabitants want it to? How much can a tourist town that lives off its heritage welcome change? Ever since the 1920's when Santa Fe's Pueblo Revival style, with its adobe walls, viga beams, molded corners and kiva fireplaces, was established and codified, the city has appeared to be one of the best-preserved in the United States. Devotees of its mud architecture, of this southwestern Timbuktu, speak of a native style risen from the earth itself. But the city's look was actually a deliberate concoction, brewed up by the city elders in the 1910s. [Read NewsPage, by Enfeedia]. Source: NYTimes
